14 mpg but I’m pretty lead footy.

After near 6000mi, 18.5 city. Louisville has a lot of rolling hills, so even on highway it doesnt go much past 20

Around town, and day-to-day commuting I'm getting around ~13.5. On a longer trip (about ~550mi each way, almost completely highway) I was averaging ~21.

What speed for highway? 70+ and mine at best is mid 16's. Also, I do much better not using cruise.

Anywhere from ~65 to 75 depending on where I was -- mostly 70-75. Occasional and brief forays into the low 80s. Mostly stock Overland, manual, probably carrying somewhere between ~500 and 700 pounds over the curb weight (2 passengers, a bunch of luggage, some tools, diamondback tonneau).

EDIT: Oh, and I did use the cruise a lot, whenever traffic was light anyway.

First fill up mostly around town, in my Rubicon was 13.5.

Hope it improves that is about the same as my Nissan Frontier that is history.

Mixed driving, sport S with 3:73 gears, 35x12 Nittos = 14.5mpg. Pretty consistent since adding the 35s

Yeah I suspect not only is my lead foot contributing to my 13.7 mpg but the 35s are too.

Mine comes from 25 years driving an ambulance. I’m sure one could get better mileage than I do but I prefer to get there sooner than they do. LOL

2nd tank on a stock sport s went 12.1 l/100km (19.4 u.s. mpg), however, before tazer jl correction to match gps speeds, stock tires were 31" actual height yet stock programming was 32.24" (appropriate for rubicon maybe).

I've got 3000 km's on it now and 2" mopar on 35's so starting to collect data. We just had a brutal cold snap of a week of -30+ temps so a good one to see how bad it can be and it was 15.4 l/100km (15.2 u.s. mpg) (includes warm up idling and higher rpm warm up idling lots). About to fill up again and should be a real world tank average tank for winter conditions which is worse than summer mileage). I'll edit this response in a day or two. 80/20 city/hwy - hand calculated, and now speedo is gps corrected via tazer jl inputs, 34.44" input for 315 70r17's on 17x9's to gps match speedo.

So mostly city this tank was 14.6/100 km or 16.1 u.s mpg. Start/stop disabled from day 1.

Highest tank - 21 average, lowest tank - 13 average, typical - 20 average.

The lowest (13) was towing my EMPTY 1500 pound flatbed car hauler on I80 at 70 mph.
Coming back I did a tad better at 13.5 mpg.

Overland, stock, automatic, mixed driving, town, rural hilly winding roads. Hardly any level or flat ground here, lots of 2, 3 and 4 degree grades, once in a while a 5 or 6 and it's almost always windy here.

The windier part of the year lasts for 7.9 months, from September 29 to May 26, with average wind speeds of more than 10.4 miles per hour. The windiest day of the year is March 31, with an average hourly wind speed of 12.8 miles per hour.

The calmer time of year lasts for 4.1 months, from May 26 to September 29.
The calmest day of the year is August 2, with an average hourly wind speed of 8.0 miles per hour.

Haha, my drivers abstract would suggest the Po Po are constantly trying to keep up to me.
